I’m 83 & I married a 37-year-old Egyptian toyboy… but I DUMPED the ‘selfish money grabber’

A pensioner who married a man nearly 50 years her junior has sensationally dumped him for being a "selfish money grabber".

Iris Jones, 83, began dating Egyptian native Mohamed, 37, after the two started chatting on Facebook in 2019.

Iris and Mohamed decided to get married the following year.

However, their fairy tale union appears to have petered out after the octogenarian slammed her former lover in a lengthy tell-all Facebook post, MailOnline reported.

"We tried to get married, but we didn’t have the correct documents," Iris began.

The pensioner described how an official at the British Embassy urged Iris "not to give him [Mohamed] any money", but Jones continued to hand her toyboy lover wads of cash - at one point flying to Egypt to give Mohamed £15,000 personally.

Iris continued: "I had £40,000 in my bank account and I handed over my bank card to Mohamed every day and we were drawing 1000 Egyptian pounds daily.

"This was to pay for living expenses, eating out, a honeymoon in Sharm el-Sheikh and generally enjoying the high life."

Upon returning to the UK, the pensioner discovered that her partner had fleeced her for over £20,000 after telling her she "should have about nine grand in there".

Iris fumed: "He was absolutely correct. £9,000 left of the £40,000.

"Mohamed has never had a job and has never had any money.

"I used to say to people that we shared expenses, but my money paid for everything".

In November 2021, Mohamed obtained a spousal visa and was able to travel to the UK where he was allowed to stay for two years, pending a review in two months' time.

Subsequent hefty hand-outs amounting to £40,000 followed, leaving Iris financially on her knees.

Iris said: "I told him: ‘no more money. If I dropped dead tomorrow, I wouldn’t have enough to bury me'".

She went on: "He did say at that stage that he needed another £40,000.

"Well, you will have to whistle for it because I haven’t got it".

After a tumultuous few years, Iris decided to call time on her relationship with Mohamed.

The pensioner ended her lengthy post by saying: "There is much more I can say at this juncture, but it could involve legal issues.

"From Mohamed’s behaviour, I learned that he was displaying many of the traits of narcissism.

"I researched the condition thoroughly, as I wanted to save my marriage, but Mohamed wouldn’t listen.

"He was always right, I was always wrong. On June 13 of this year, after another vitriolic row, I told him to go.

"It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, as my love for Mohamed was genuine but it was no good pretending that things would improve.

"I let my head rule my heart. There is so much more I could say at this point but that will be for another post."

He is posting awful videos of her on his you tube channel, this was a scam from day one

[JohnyJuanCarlos]

Everybody knows it was a scam. Good she also know it now

[Unknown-hiq]

His Egyptian what are you expecting from him just he wants money and come to England.... im shocked old woman her age they allowed her to marry him or even bring him to uk

[srose]

This is all true Iris has kicked him out and he fleeced her out of her all life savings that’s what Iris has finally told the truth about him to the world

[gaslitworldf.melissab]

She just wanted to have a companion and didn't allow herself to think honestly of what he might really want - passage to the UK, the nearest land of milk and honey. I'm surprised that he didn't kill her after she ended the relationship. She's lucky - so far anyway.

She should have known better. At her age she should have been wiser. He had no job. She was probably just lonely.
Don’t they have senior citizen social groups in her town?

I think Iris got rid of Mohamad. Yes he used her for her money put also I think she was getting tired. She did the cooking cleaning all the house work. It must of got to much for her she said she couldn't get to sleep. As Mohamad was ruff in bed when he was sleeping she had to sleep down stairs on the chair she did the best thing it would of made her sick. Also it was like she had her son living with her it all got to much for her so I am sending all my love Iris I would love to know how you are doing please do anything video you are a fantastic woman ❤

[Cherish..]

Did Iris have no family there in the UK to advise her and look out for her ?

[JesusSaves]

I feel really bad for her. We all will get older one day. Many times are hearts are still young and we don’t realize what is happening. SHAME ON HIM for doing this to an older person. I can’t imagine any good woman wanting to marry him now!!

[susanlitherland]

You never had nothing in common he was only using you every thing he said to you was a lie sorry put you rushed in to everything he was just out to get what he wanted you let him do what he wanted so blame yourself I bet you he never got back in touch with you because there was no money left for him please don't let nobody else use you ❤

[jonathan]

I couldn't help but see this coming. I dont think she should make it so public though.

[kayz]

How has he fleeced her when she willingly gave him the money??? She gave it freely and lied to the public saying she had no money, why give thousands of pounds to someone u met abroad??? Sorry but people should know better seriously

[jonathan]

I hope I dont hear anymore about this women. She should keep it private.

[mpalmer]

Stupidity and sociopathy and ignorance and social media collided !!! Extremely bad mix

[TheBestDog]
